Corey Perry has been on fire since coach Randy Carlyle demoted him to the fourth line.

Perry quickly returned to the top unit with Ryan Getzlaf and Rickard Rakell and has been scoring at his old pace with six points this week including a four assist night against Toronto on Monday. Perry scored again on Sunday but the goal was reversed upon review due to an offside. Perry has 11 goals and 32 points this season and should be active in most pools. Feb 12 - 6:45 AM

Corey Perry found the back of the net in Anaheim's 4-3 overtime win against Buffalo on Tuesday.

Perry extended his point streak to three games. That brings him up to 10 goals and 31 points in 44 games. In all likelihood, this will be the second straight campaign where he falls below the 30-goal milestone after surpassing it for five consecutive full campaigns (excluding the lockout shortened 2013 campaign). Perhaps this is the start of a strong second half though. Feb 7 - 5:29 AM

Perry picked up the primary assists on goals by Ondrej Kase's power play goal in the second period and Rickard Rakell's third-period tally. He also helped set Rakell's first goal and another one by Ryan Getzlaf. Perry finished the night with a plus-2 rating and six shots on goal in 19:42 of ice time. The Ducks forward also knocked Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen out of the game when he hit him in the head with his skate. The 32-year-old is up to nine goals and 30 points in 43 games this season.

Corey Perry's power play goal on Saturday was his 100th of his NHL career.

All have come as a member of the Ducks, the only team he has played for in his career. The winger has had a tough go of things this season as well as last and now has nine goals and 26 points in 42 games. It was a big afternoon from Perry for poolies as he also had 12 penalty minutes to give him 48 this campaign. He has some value in deeper leagues at this point of his career. Feb 4 - 7:22 AM

Ryan Getzlaf isn't happy with the officiating that the Ducks have been dealing with this season.

"It’s a frustrating time," Getzlaf said. "As players, we’re not sure what penalties are and what they aren’t. As the ebbs and flows of the game (go), it’s hard to understand what’s going on all the time and maintaining what we want to do to compete. I didn’t feel like anybody was in danger at any point on the ice but somehow there was 10 penalties or whatever there was. That’s not hockey. And that’s not allowing players to play and be themselves and compete." Getzlaf's reference to 10 penalties was in regards to how many minors (it was actually 11) that Anaheim took on Saturday, but that contest was hardly an isolated incident for the Ducks. The Ducks' 219 minor penalties this season are the highest in the league, so it's not surprising that the Ducks would be frustrated there. Anaheim is also just middle of the road when it comes to killing penalties too, so the Ducks either need to improve on special teams or find a way to cut down on the penalties.

Ryan Kesler (lower body) won't play in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Wild.

Kesler clearly hasn't been himself on the ice, so the Ducks have decided to shut him down for this game. He has six goals and two assists in 22 games this season. Kesler is considered day-to-day for now.

Adam Henrique has scored six game-winning goals for the Ducks since Dec. 1.

That's the most in the NHL over that span. While he hasn't put up star numbers since being acquired by Anaheim, he has come through for them in the clutch. "He’s not overwhelmed by the situation," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "That’s the key. Comfort. When players seem to be able to find ways, when the intensity goes up, (where) it doesn’t alter the way they visualize the game. That’s a trait or a skill that separates them from other players. He has what people would call ice water in his veins when he has the puck in certain situations. Where other players would be panicking with the puck to slap it away. He can find people. He’s got a real high hockey IQ."

It appears as though Antoine Vermette will be back in the lineup on Tuesday.

Vermette was a healthy scratch two times last week and he has logged just over eight minutes of ice time in each of his last three appearances. Look for him to skate on the fourth line against Detroit if he plays.

The Anaheim Ducks will scratch Derek Grant on Tuesday night when they visit the Detroit Red Wings.

Grant has eight goals and eight assists for 16 points in 44 games this season with Anaheim. He has failed to score or record a single point in his last five games, with his last goal coming on January 2nd. He will be joined in the press box by Korbinian Holzer and Marcus Pettersson.

Rakell is on a five-game point streak and has only been held off the scoresheet once in his last eight contests. Of course, this has been a great campaign for him overall as he has 22 goals and 45 points in 50 games.

It was the first time this campaign that the feisty winger had a multi-assist night. Ritchie has some offensive upside and with most power forwards, it takes some time until it shows up at the NHL level. He has 18 points in 51 games but four assists in his last five games.

Andrew Cogliano scored his 93rd goal as a member of the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday against the Rangers, moving into seventh on the team's all-time list.

Cogliano scored on a rush, beating Henrik Lundqvist to the glove side in a four-goal first period for the home team. It was his first goal since Dec. 23, snapping a nine-game goal drought. He'll look to carry over the momentum into Thursday's home game against the Jets.

Kerdiles is up with the Ducks as insurance because some players are dealing with injuries. However, it's unclear if he will play Tuesday night versus Buffalo. Kerdiles has eight goals and 19 points in 23 games with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL this season. He hasn't earned a point in three career matches with the Ducks, which includes two appearances in 2017-18.

Corey Perry has been on fire since coach Randy Carlyle demoted him to the fourth line.

Perry quickly returned to the top unit with Ryan Getzlaf and Rickard Rakell and has been scoring at his old pace with six points this week including a four assist night against Toronto on Monday. Perry scored again on Sunday but the goal was reversed upon review due to an offside. Perry has 11 goals and 32 points this season and should be active in most pools.

Available in 65 per cent of Yahoo leagues, the 26-year-old was recently promoted to the Ducks' top line with Ryan Getzlaf. Though Silfverberg is way behind the 50-point-pace he proved capable of reaching last year, now might be the time he heats up and improves his production — currently at 25 points in 48 games.

J.T. Brown is skating on Anaheim's second line with Ryan Kesler and Jakob Silfverberg in Wednesday's game against the Penguins.

Brown took line rushes with those two forwards during the pre-game warmup, so it looks like he'll get a shot with them. He made his Ducks debut earlier this week after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay. Don't expect him to carry much fantasy value going forward.

Patrick Eaves may not return this season after being diagnosed with Gullain-Barre Syndrome.

Eaves last played on October 13 and has been undergoing treatment both in California and Florida for the muscle-weakening autoimmune disorder. He has been around the arena with teammates since the Ducks returned earlier this week from a road trip and while he is still out indefinitely, it looks more and more that it could be the remainder of the season.

Kase's goal tied the game at two at the 6:12 mark of the third period. The Ducks forward then added another tally in the shootout to make sure that his team managed to survive another round before teammate Nick Ritchie added the game-winner. Kase finished the night with a team-high six shots on goal in 17:12 of ice time. He's now accumulated nine points in his last seven games. The 22-year-old is up to 16 goals and 30 points in 43 games this season. Corey Perry also found the back of the net for the Ducks in regulation.

Dating back to Jan. 23 when that run started, Fowler is tied for first place among defensemen in points. He now has six goals and 24 points in 43 contests, which puts the possibility of him matching or surpassing his career-high of 40 points on the table. That being said, we still expect him to ultimately fall a bit short of that mark this season.

Francois Beauchemin will be a healthy scratch in Tuesday's game against the New York Rangers.

Korbinian Holzer will take his spot in the lineup. Beauchemin has two goals and seven assists in 40 games this season. It's the second time in five games that he'll serve as a healthy scratch. Derek Grant and Jared Boll will also watch the game from the press box.

Hampus Lindholm scored a goal and picked up an assist in a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Lindholm let go of an absolute rocket from the top of the circle for the opening goal of the game 2:28 into the first period. The goal broke a run of six games without a point for the 24-year-old blueliner, and he is now up to eight goals and 18 points in 43 games this season. Corey Perry and Ryan Kesler also scored in the win.

Josh Manson picked up three assists with a plus-4 rating across 21:19 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win in Vancouver.

Manson, who is normally known for his physicality, has picked up three goals with 20 points and a plus-18 rating through 41 games. He has been particularly effective lately on the offensive end, posting eight helpers over his past nine games. Manson has some nice short-term fantasy appeal in deeper pools while running hot, and he is a great low-cost DFS option.

Ducks coach Randy Carlyle was sending a message with his decision to scratch Brandon Montour on Tuesday.

Montour was coming off a minus-three night against New Jersey on Monday. "A coach’s decision is based upon what are your expectations of the player," Carlyle said of the decision to send Montour to the press box. "A minus-3 last night in New Jersey. I’ve instructed him that I don’t expect him to be a perfect hockey player. But I expect that he has to play defense first. And we need people that are going to commit to the system. I felt there was some areas that he needed to shore up. I told him so and that’s what goes into a coach’s decision. He’s a good player and he’s going to continue to be a good player. We believe that. This is a learning curve for a young player where you can’t just play the rover game." Look for Montour to draw back into the lineup on Thursday. He has six goals and 16 points in 33 contests.

Pettersson was called up from the minors earlier this week and he was a healthy scratch Tuesday against Detroit. The 21-year-old blueliner had two blocks and a plus-2 rating in 13:28 of ice time versus Chicago.

John Gibson stopped 36 of 38 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Minnesota Wild.

The Ducks found themselves down 2-1 heading into the third period, but they managed to force overtime thanks to a game-tying goal by Ondrej Kase. Anaheim ended up winning the marathon shootout in the 11th round on a goal by Nick Ritchie. The win improves Gibson's record to 21-15-6 on the season. He'll enter his next appearance with a 2.55 goals-against-average and a .924 save percentage.

Ryan Miller stopped 30 of the 33 shots he faced on Tuesday night as the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 in overtime.

Miller didn't face a shot in overtime but turned in a solid effort to help seal the victory for the Ducks. It was his first win in five appearances and improves his record to 7-4-5 on the season with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. He's been getting key starts as Anaheim awaits the return of starter John Gibson from a lower-body injury.
